To Suit a Suitor by Paula Kremser


Julia North is nearing the end of her third London season and has just been jilted. Again! All she wants is to leave London and its eligible gentlemen behind. When the opportunity to leave for two months comes her way, Julia jumps at the chance. But her mother will only let her leave on the condition that she choose Julia's next suitor, and her mother isn't nearly as picky as Julia would like. Against her better judgment, Julia makes the promise and leaves town, only to run into Henry Chamberlain. Julia is warned that his heart is locked up tight, but she doesn't need to be warned away from him; Julia has been jilted enough to know that his flirtatious smiles can't be taken seriously. With time running out, a change of mind and a change of heart is their only chance for the joy that only true love can bring.


I really enjoyed this gentle regency by Paula Kremser.  It was romantic and the characters were vivid and very typical to this regency genre.  The overbearing, pushy and slightly snooty mother, a rich young bachelor sought after by every young girl around, a young woman caught up in the society games and wishing for an escape.  It all played out like a lovely movie in my head.

I wouldn't say there were any surprises waiting for me in this book but I did like the overall theme of being yourself and allowing others to come to know and love you for who you really are.  Don't try to be someone you are not to impress others.

If you love regency romance, you should pick this book up.  It was so sweet!

    1. It's a good book to read after a heart pounding, full of suspense or angst type story. That's what I did. :) It felt extra gentle after that!
